The total energy in these particles is insignificant compared to the energy in the form of light from the sun, so the variation of the magnetic field will not have a direct effect on Earth climate.

However, the sun provides an abundant source of energy and by changing the earth's radiative balance so that we absorb a little more of that energy, we are having an important effect on the earth's climate.

Sulphate aerosols have a cooling effect on the climate because they scatter light from the Sun, reflecting its energy back out into space.

The» top ten» arguments employed by the relatively few deniers with credentials in any aspect of climate - change science (which arguments include «the sun is doing it», «Earth's climate was changing before there were people here», «climate is changing on Mars but there are no SUVs there», «the Earth hasn't been warming since 1998», «thermometer records showing heating are contaminated by the urban - heat - island effect», «satellite measurements show cooling rather than warming») have all been shown in the serious scientific literature to be wrong or irrelevant, but explaining their defects requires at least a paragraph or two for each one.

If you look at Figure 5B in the recent paper by Foukal et al. on Nature, where they claim the Sun does not have any effect on climate, you will be able to see huge volcano spikes that really do not have anything to do with the temperature data.

The take - away is that if the Sun were now to stop all activity, as during the 16th - century Maunder Minimum, it would produce an effect on climate no greater than the next twenty years» worth of greenhouse gas emissions — some say, ten years.

Just as a hypothetical example: If climate scientist will tell me that recent pause in global warming is due to the effect of an inactive sun (which is the reality as reported by following) http://www.spaceweather.com and that they will go back and improve their models to account for this, then I would be more inclined to believe their other claims... Instead the IPCC doubles down on their predictions and claim the future effects will be worst than they originally thought?

From the beginning of this debate I have argued that the Sun has a much more powerful effect on the climate than anything we humans have or will have on our environment.

So, how do we know that the sun has a large effect on climate?

Dr. Curry has referenced a work by Feulner G., Rahmstorf S. (2010), that uses a traditional climate model to evaluate the effect of the sun on the climate in the eventuality that a new prolonger sola minimum would occur.

I can see Leif's objection to the idea that movement of the solar system barycentre has a significant effect on an object the size of the sun but is it necessary to propose an effect on the sun for Earth's climate purposes?

The climatic system / oceanic system are driven by the sun, therefore it stands to reason any changes in solar output (variations) will have an effect on these two systems which in turn will have an effect on the climate.

We have been focused on climate models rather than on climate dynamics and theory that is needed to understand the effects of the sun on climate, the network of natural internal variability on multiple time scales, the mathematics of extreme events, and the predictability of a complex system characterized by spatio - temporal chaos.

One hypothesis why CO2 has no significant effect on temperatures is that much of the Earth, particularly in the tropical oceanic areas which receive much of the energy from the sun are regulated by emerging climate phenomena, not CO2, and these are what primarily determine temperatures in these areas.

If verified, this effect would represent a dramatic advance not only in the basic understanding of the Sun's variable activity, but also in the potential influence of this variability on the Earth's climate.
